One of the most hateful and vicious lies spread to demonize the Jewish people is the accusation that Jews were the cause of Marxist Leninist Communism. It is repeated by countless anti-Semites. Some of the anti-Communists in Russia chose to blame the Russian Revolution on the Jews. Defeated by the Bolsheviks the haters spread this lie all over the world. This lie portrayed Soviet Communism as simply a front created by Jews to seize control of the world.

Darrell W. Conder, who denies Christ, has accepted a form of this lie. In his Personal Message he accuses the Jews of bearing responsibility for causing the Bolshevik Coup.

"Of the top four hundred leaders of the Russian Revolution, virtually all were Jews, including Vladimir Illyich Lenin himself."

This is an absurd charge which is no doubt based upon anti-Semites long held accusation that Jews are responsible for the rise of Communism. What about Feliks Dzerzhinsky? The founder of the Cheka, who was born from a Polish noble family? What about the Latvian Guards? Their loyalty to the Bolsheviks played an extremely instrumental role in securing the Bolsheviks' powers through all the obstacles of the Russian Civil War. What about the Chinese solldiers who served under the Bolsheviks during the Russian Civil War?

This also ignores the fact that many Jews were affiliated with other political movements such as the Mensheviks, who strived to create a truly democratic society, various strands of Zionism. And of course the Bolsheviks were militantly Atheist, so all the religious Jews would be unable to participate with them.

But these facts will mean nothing to those who are drunk upon the lie of 'Judaeo-Communism.'

This is not the only place where he revives the infamous accusation that Jews caused Communism. Observe what he writes in his November 2009 commentary. Here Conder is condemning some some of the American religious right have chosen to support Israel. Here he is saying that originally Christians did not much care for Jews but that the Holocaust (which he does not believe in) alledgedly charged all that. (Emphasis is mine.):

Eighty years ago the average American Christian had little if any use for Jews. I know, because by the time I came along the attitude had not changed much....their personal reputation was not much more than that of common street thugs—as it had been for centuries in this nation and abroad. [What about Einstein?]But then came the "Holocaust." European Christians, as well as American Christians—because they allegedly stood by and did nothing—had the blood of "six million" dead Jews on their hands. Forget the other 100 million or so other people who were murdered in the 20th century by despots like Lenin & Stalin, the Christian owed world Jewry big time for the "Holocaust"—for "six million" dead, a number that has been long discredited as ridiculously high. [Nonsense. But that is another topic.]

Note how he positions the italicized statement. He discusses the Holocaust which he does not believe in, then brings up Soviet Communism. Why? Why does Conder seem to think that the atrocities of Communism somehow invalidates what the Nazis did to the Jews? There is an unspoken thought in here. It is this:

Conder is blaming the Jews for creating Communism.

Combined with his previous absurd statement that "Of the top four hundred leaders of the Russian Revolution, virtually all were Jews, including Vladimir Illyich Lenin himself" it is difficult for me come to another conclusion. Conder knows this is an outrageous charge which truth loving people hate so he mentions it obliquely, hoping critics will miss what he means.

It is the myth of Judaeo-Communism which Conder refers to when he called Israel "Marxist" as seen in his February 2008 commentary which was highlighted last post. He has accepted some part of the horrid 'Judaeo-Communism' lie.

Also worth mentioning is his June 2009 commentary in which he asserts that Hate Crimes legislation is just an attempt by Jews to stifle criticism and suppress free thought. Observe how he brings up Lenin and Stalin and, combined with his previously cited accusation that most Bolshevik leaders were Jews, it strongly appears that he blames the Jews for Communism.

If you're like me, nowadays you seldom bother to turn on the "news" or glance at a "news" paper. What's the use? Those of us with an ounce of gray matter have long ago figured out that America's "news" is all cleverly-devised programming to keep the masses mooing in unison by a nameless, faceless but well-organized insidious enemy [He means Jews] that is steadily bringing this nation to the edge of its own grave. We also understand that this finely-tweaked programming has been so effective that the only thing left to do before pulling the plug is to mop up a few minor problems—primarily mopping up those Americans who are still infected with the disease of independent thought.

Okay, I'll grant you that the disease of free thought isn't, of itself, necessarily dangerous. As long as one keeps their thoughts and opinions to themselves, the illness isn't contagious. The danger is when one opens their mouth. When this happens, the Manual of Politically-Correct Behavior specifically warns that the disease rapidly becomes epidemic and is particularly prone to mutation. Yes, there is a cure. The most effective was formulated by Vladimir Lenin and pal Joe Stalin when they stopped the infection by murdering some 60+ million Russians, Ukranians, Latvians, Georgians, Lithuanians, Poles, Czechs, and other assorted people with functional brains. Over in China Chairman Mao followed Lenin's example and all but eliminated the disease by bleeding his nation long and hard. However, these men got a handle on the disease because they wielded life-and-death dictatorial powers.

This hateful fantasy has been the cause of much grief for the Jewish people, and it is sad that Darrell W. Conder has chosen to use his free will to spread this monstrous and contemptible lie.

Post-script: What started Zionism was not the Holocaust but the Dreyfus Trial and Russian pogroms in the 1890s-1900s.

Also did you observe the annoying way Conder pretty much ignored any mention of the Nazis?

Darrell W. Conder, who denies Christ, accuses the Jewish Talmud of defining Gentiles as non-humans in his February 2008 commentary.

the state of Israel is perhaps the most racist, apartheid nation on earth and [Gerald] Flurry [leader of the Armstrongite offshoot, the Philadelphia Church of God, a very scary cult by the way.] doesn't bother to even hint at that fact! (If anyone doubts this statement, there are numerous websites, books, etc. devoted to the hateful racist policies of this deadly hypocritical nation. [He then cites a book critical of Israel hosted by a virulently racist web site from Australia which seems to be a racist so-called 'Christian Identity' group.])

Since Gerald has made numerous trips to Israel, we cannot suppose he's ignorant of life in racist, Marxist Israel where Palestinians are kept strictly segregated from Jews and treated like dogs, which of course is their defined status in the Talmud. [Cites a book hosted by a purportedly Muslim web site which actually devotes most of its time to promoting bizarre conspiracy theories.]

The accusation that the Talmud demonizes Gentiles is an old anti-Semitic canard that has been around for hundreds of years, before there was even a United States of America. Darrell W. Conder has chosen to revive this horrifying lie that has been used to demonize Jews.

Look at this video, Joel Kotek: Anti-Semitism in Arab Cartoons, starting at 0:22, which shows a cartoon in a Lebanese newspaper, written by a Christian cartoonist, portraying a pointed rifle from a large book, portrayed to be the Talmud, that had shot an Arab.

This is the same lie.

This is from a sermon delivered by Sheikh Khaled Rezk Taky Eldin, a Muslim cleric in Brazil. This is how he describes the motivations of Jews.

"They [the Jews] read in the Talmud that Jews are human beings, but the non-Jews are not, they are beasts. In other texts they read that gentiles are “dogs”, created to serve the Jews."

Also did you catch the contradiction in the Conder quote? One minute he talks of "racist, Marxist Israel" Wait a minute? Israel is Marxist? [More on this in this in a later post.] Then presumedly that would mean they're secular, right? Then the next minute he blames the Talmud for how Israel treats the Palestinians. So now the State of Israel is religious? Oh, how inconsistent and vague Conder can be!

Darrell W. Conder and Co. claim they are not racist. Then why do they make statements like this?

By the way, and this is very important, Madeline Albright is Jewish and not an American one, either. She was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia and just recently "found out" that she was Jewish. (Linda Packer, August 2006 commentary.)

This comment is pregnant with the idea that Jews are not as human as the rest.

A similar comment was also made by Conder.

Of the top four hundred leaders of the Russian Revolution, virtually all were Jews, including Vladimir Illyich Lenin himself. (A Personal Message from Darrell W. Conder.)

This comment brings up the hateful anti-Semitic of 'Judeo-Communism,' the idea that Marxist Leninist Communism is somehow Jewish which has often been used by anti-Semites to demonize Jews.

It also ignores the fact that Lenin did not know about his part Jewish ancestry until around 1921. But considering Packer's previous comment about how "very important" it is to know that Madeline Albright was part Jewish, I doubt Conder will care about such facts.

It is absurd to claim that Marxist Leninist Communism is Jewish. What about the Latvian Guards? What about the Chinese Red Guard? During the Russian Civil some Chinese men in Russia fought on the side of the Bolsheviks and helped them to gain victory. Why is their role in the creation of the USSR ignored and instead Conder simply scapegoats the Jews as many anti-Semites have done?

These two know that what they are saying here, what they are subtly suggesting, is utterly outrageous to most people. So in each of these articles they are careful to insist that these assertions are not directed at all Jews.

Packer, in her article, said this before saying how "very important" it was to know that Madeline Albright is partly Jewish.

I have nothing against Jewish people. The vast majority of them are good, loving, productive members of society who wish no one any harm. But the few Jews who own tremendous amounts of wealth and wield the real power in the world are such a danger to our planet right now that we can no longer ignore them. [They still believe in the Apocalypse, but they say it will be the Jews' fault.]

Even if those statements are true it does not change the fact that these statements are, in fact, Anti-Semitic. This is just rhetoric designed to hide the fact that they are preaching hatred.

I now leave the reader with another anti-Semitic comment from Conder:

Obviously in 2010 we're all still dancing on a string to the tune of the nameless, faceless insidious bastards mcdoogling this world [He means Jews, I assume.], which means we're about as likely to have a happy New Year as a tick-infested hound! (January 2010 commentary).

Friday, June 25, 2010

One of the most terrible lies that have been spread about Jews in order to demonize them is the accusation that a sinister cabal of Jews is trying to take over the world. This horrible lie has been used many times to demonize Jews. Most infamously this idea was propagated through the infamous plagiarized fabrication The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

During the turbulence of the Russian Civil War some anti-Communists began to spread the idea that Marxist Leninist Communism was somehow Jewish. The Protocols convinced some of them that Marxist Leninism was just a front for the Jews as part of a conspiracy to conquer the world. It was more convenient for the haters to scapegoat the Jews for this catastrophe.

This idea ignored many other facts and is absurd. For instance it was the Latvian Guards who played a crucial role in propping up the Bolshevik regime during various times of crises during the Russian Civil War. But there is no Latvian World Conspiracy Theory which assumes that Marxist Leninist Communism is just a front fr the Latvians. The Jewish World Conspiracy Theory is absurd.

Once they were suppressed and cast out after war's end some of them spread this inflammatory idea all over the world. This idea has caused tremendous mischief for the Jewish people.

But Darrell W. Conder, who denies Christ, believes this absurd and hateful myth.

Israel was conceived by ruthless, communistic atheist Zionists who used Old Testament prophecy as a blueprint to scam trusting Christians and Jews into believing that modern Israel's existence was "bible prophecy" being fulfilled, when in reality the founders and their successors worked behind the scenes to actually fulfill an agenda of secular world domination.

(This overlooks the fact that Zionism was largely secular in nature and that most religious Jews were against returning to Palestine, saying only the Messiah could do that, until the rise of Nazism. As far as I can see they were not trying to fulfill prophecy.)

At first glance this sounds like Darrell W. Conder is teaching the old Jewish World Conspiracy theory. But in the next breath he insists that he is not.

No. I'm not writing about a worldwide "Jewish conspiracy" here; it's a much, much larger picture that goes way beyond ethnic consideration. (Commentary, February 2008 entry.)

This ‘denial’ is disingenuous.

I find no comfort in this denial that he is teaching a Jewish World Conspiracy theory. Other anti-semitic haters also felt that the conspiracy was " a much, much larger picture that goes way beyond ethnic consideration."

This is from a preface for the infamous plagiarized fabrication The Protocols of the Elders of Zion:

These learned men [meaning the fictional Jewish conspirators] decided by peaceful means to conquer the world for Zion with the slyness of the Symbolic Snake, whose head was to represent those who have been initiated into the plans of the Jewish administration, and the body of the Snake to represent the Jewish people - the administration was always kept secret, EVEN FROM THE JEWISH NATION ITSELF. (Sergei Nilus' Preface to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, 1905.)

This shows that even those who peddled this most damnable lie, such as Sergei Nilus, did not (apparently) believe that most Jews were a part of the fictional conspiracy.

So when Darrell W. Conder denies that he is anti-Semitic by saying he only believes that some Jews are part of the conspiracy I find that unconvincing because these publishers of the Protocols, who are undeniably anti-Semitic, also believed that only a few Jews were a part of the conspiracy.

Keith Olbermann in this segment used a good expression that perfectly captures what Conder does in this denial of his clearly evident anti-Semitism. “He employs the classic ploy of ‘I’m not saying what I’m obviously saying but…’”

That is exactly what Conder does when he says “No. I'm not writing about a worldwide "Jewish conspiracy" here;” it’s bigger than all that.

Thus we see he does teach that there is a Jewish World Conspiracy.

In fact, in his November, 2009 column, he calls this New World Order these Zionists are trying to create as part of an "Israeli-New World Order agenda".

For eight years America and the world suffered at the hands of an American president who thought God was talking to him—conveniently leading him into wars that were a clear part of the Israeli-New World Order agenda. Yes, he's gone; but he's been replaced by a leader whose administration is beating another war drum against Iran, also a priority on the Israeli-New World Order agenda.

And still he wishes to assure us that he was not talking "about a worldwide "Jewish conspiracy"".

Here's one example of his many anti-Semitic tirades that demonize Jews. This comes from the August 2009 commentary entry. Here he condemns the introduction of Hate Crimes Laws insisting that it is a Jewish attempt to stifle criticism of them as part of their preparations to conquer the world. He insists that others who support this law are just a smokescreen for the Jews.

Anti-Semites often blame whatever they do not like as originating from the Jews. It does not matter to them if some Gentiles do this as well, he just waves his rhetorical magic wand and insist the Gentiles must be influenced by the Jews. So to them it does not matter if he sees Gentiles doing something he dislikes, he just says the Jews made do it, influenced him, etc. Darrell W. Conder does the same thing here.

For decades [since the 1920s he states elsewhere] an insidious enemy [he means the Jews!] has had virtual control over what America reads, hears and thinks, which they accomplished by exercising complete control over the "news" and entertainment media [Jewish control of the media is a common anti-Semitic accusation]....Despite this kind of control, the powers-that-be failed to recognize the potential of the Internet to inform. The biggest threat to their misinformation empire has come from American websites and independent news sources...Yes, gays & lesbians & persons with disabilities are at the forefront, but they are nothing more than a smoke screen. Lurking behind is an insidious enemy of "we the people," which is made clear by the JTA (Jewish Telegraphic Agency), "The Global news Service of the Jewish People", in its July 17, 2009 article "Senate passes hate-crimes bill." Reporting on this story, the JTA boasts: "A number of Jewish groups, headed by the Anti-Defamation League, have been working for a decade to enact the measure." (See www.adl.org for more enlightening information.)

Now you know the reason why the American media—completely owned and operated by Zionist concerns

[There are plenty of media out there that are quite condemnatory of Israel. While the American media may be a bit too soft on Israel for some people's tastes, to suggest that it's part of a Jewish-run World Conspiracy to take over the world is extremely ridiculous and hateful. Why not settle for more mundane explanations like the natural human tendency for conformity? Instead he decides to just blame the Jews.-Redfox712.]

—has been promoting the "hate crime" bill as the best thing since Squeezably-Soft Charmin. When it's in place, no one will be able to legally open their yaps when Israel goes on another shooting holiday in Gaza, or when Israel drags America into another Middle Eastern war and therefore to our doom. [Although he no longer believes the Bible he still believes in the Apocalypse. He blames it on the Jews now.]

You know who else opposes Hate Crimes legislation? Right wing Christians who fear they will be restrained condemning homosexuality. The sort of thing Conder professes to hate so much.

And he still wants us to think he's not anti-Semitic.

So you can see that Darrell W. Conder does believe in a Jewish World Conspiracy Theory, his crafty denials notwithstanding.

Update: Here's some relevant words his September 2006 commentary:

"Zionism" is but the code word for a New World Order whose sole purpose has nothing at all to do with Judaism, outside the fact that its founders have used the vilest parts of the Tanakh (the Old Testment) and the Talmud to justify their actions and win support from the relgiously ignorant. Bluntly speaking, Zionism is a scheme to enslave the entire world as beasts of burden to a handful of money masters who use the cloak of religion as their master plan.

What horrifyingly hateful drivel!

And he wants us to believe he's not talking about the tired, old anti-Semitic lie of the Jewish World Conspiracy Theory.

Thursday, June 24, 2010

I must say, even after reading Darrell W. Conder's trash about Jewish World Conspiracy theories, alleged Jewish control of banks, media, government, and his Holocaust Revisionism, I was still shocked when I read this from his August 2005 commentary.

Here Darrell W. Conder, who denies Christ, argues that we are just 'brainwash'ed to have concern for the downtrodden. Somehow this is supposed to be a bad thing. And he also accuses Christianity of partly creating the poor. How I do not know.

I say that if a man or woman wants to do something to help their fellow humans, they should first help themselves by learning the unpleasant truth about how everything really works in this world. The "unpleasant" part will be discovering the horrific scope of the lies under which we all labor. The beneficial part will be taking the first step towards ridding ourselves of the lies by which the priests and politicians have robbed us all to create their new world order.

This paragraph is probably a reference to his paranoid delusion that a sinister cabal of Jews control the media, judiciary, banking, publishing. And he also teaches that they are trying to take over the world to create a 'new world order'. The typical Jewish World Conspiracy Theory so beloved by Anti-Semites. We now continue.

Actually, I'm talking about one lie in particular.

From our mother's knee, to kindergarten, to college we all have been taught that we owe the "downtrodden" of the world a helping hand. Because we have been the victims of a lifetime of relentless brainwashing, what none dare bring into focus is that "downtrodden" is just another word for people too damned trifling or lacking in rudimentary intelligence to take care of themselves. Now, before you go for my throat, ask yourself why you owe such people anything? To feed them so they can continue to spawn like trout in a stream and raise up another generation of trifling, starving "downtrodden" people so our children can feed and clothe them? I say let Jesus feed and clothe the miserable, weak-minded and diseased-ridden wretches of the world, who his damned religious philosophy has partially created.What a pack of lies! What a heartless and cruel way to view the poor! Here they are portrayed as nothing but extra mouths to feed who don't deserve it. Merely a burden instead of human beings.

The men of old who devised that "love-your-neighbor-as-yourself" tripe didn't want people like us to focus on the eternal truth that human nature is instinctively and rightly self-centered. It is our nature to take care of ourselves first and foremost, and is something called self-preservation. It is our duty to first and foremost take care of ourselves and our family, and then secondly, if we so choose, our friends and neighbors. Unless it directly benefits us, for what purpose should we venture any money or effort on strangers? It has taken the priest and politician centuries of preaching Jesus, an ever-burning hell and never-ending guilt to threaten away this truth from the minds of humanity.

Teaching people to be concerned for the downtrodden is a bad thing? Wanting to help poor people is an implanted desire we have been brainwashed to have? That is hateful and extremely stupid talk. That's crazy talk.

Observes how he dehumanizes the poor. He hands out similar dehumanization techniques upon Jews and any other polemical target of his.

The poor are just "strangers" to him. Well, you know, they're not strangers to everyone. They are brothers, sisters, friends, sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, beloved ones to some people.

Conder seems to think that the poor are just "people too damned trifling or lacking in rudimentary intelligence to take care of themselves." He says this as though being financially secure is as natural as eating. It just happens that way naturally, in his strange fantasy world.

He also seems to think the poor are just a bunch of "miserable, weak-minded and diseased-ridden wretches". What a way to kick them when they're down, Conder!

"ask yourself why you owe such people anything? To feed them so they can continue to spawn like trout in a stream and raise up another generation of trifling, starving "downtrodden" people so our children can feed and clothe them?"

This assumes, quite wrongly, that poor people just remain poor. Do poor people just stay poor in Conder's strange fantasy world? Whatever the answer to that question that is obviously untrue in the real world.

"Unless it directly benefits us, for what purpose should we venture any money or effort on strangers?"

They are not strangers to everyone. They are someone's father, mother, brothers, sisters, friends, etc. It is terrible to be so dismissive of the needs of the poor.

I have been extremely reluctant to address Conder here because I did want to promote his hateful ideas. Many of you involved with the COGs will know him as a man who passionately denounced the New Testament and tried to destroy peoples' faith in Christ, but I will discuss him in the hope that someone will find this information helpful. Maybe someone out there who had come under his influence before will find it profitable to know what I know about his present day teachings.

He is also a passionate denouncer of the Bible. He often uses lurid and distressing rhetoric to make people feel guilty about Christianity in order to destroy their faith in Christ. He well understands how effective the problem of evil can be in destroying peoples' faith in higher authorities.

But unlike most other atheists/agnostics however he currently teaches some ideas that most people, I am sure, would find, at best bizarre, at worst truly hateful.

I see hardly anyone has brought attention to these ideas that he now teaches, so I will.

When he renounced any form of Christianity around 1997 he originally advocated for a form of pseudo-Judaism. He used many of the ideological tools used by Atheists/Agnostics to discredit the New Testament. His arguments were discussed by UCG minister Eric Snow in Is Christianity a Fraud? Later Conder renounced the Old Testament as well and now spreads many hateful teachings that have often been used by anti-Semitic haters to demonize Jews.

We shall explore some of those hateful teachings in the next few posts. But first here is a little taste of what to expect in the next few posts. I shall discuss them in more detail later. On his web site he promises to lead us to sanity. We are about to discover what 'sanity' looks like in his strange world. He,

Teaches there is a conspiracy to create a 'new world order' led by a sinister cabal of Jews.

And seems to believe that the unfolding of this conspiracy will, unless stopped, cause das ende, the destruction of the entire world.

Most of these are ridiculous and paranoid ideas have often been spread by anti-Semites to demonize Jews.

Here are some of his writings. They clearly show his extreme, unhinged bias against Jews. Emphases are made to show his hateful anti-Semitic statements.

Anti-Semitic Jewish/Zionist World Conspiracy Theory

"For eight years America and the world suffered at the hands of an American president who thought God was talking to him—conveniently leading him into wars that were a clear part of theIsraeli-New World Order agenda. Yes, he's gone; but he's been replaced by a leader whose administration is beating another war drum against Iran, also a priority on the Israeli-New World Order agenda." (November, 2009 column.)

Folks, Israel was conceived by ruthless, communistic atheist Zionists who used Old Testament prophecy as a blueprint to scam trusting Christians and Jews into believing that modern Israel's existence was "bible prophecy" being fulfilled, when in reality the founders and their successors worked behind the scenes to actually fulfill an agenda of secular world domination. No. I'm not writing about a worldwide "Jewish conspiracy" here;

[NONSENSE!! This is a Jewish World Conspiracy Theory. This is just a rhetorical trick. Why is it called 'the Israeli-New World Order agenda' as seen above? More on that later.

This also ignores the fact that Zionism was initially secular in nature. In fact religious Jews actually opposed going to the Holy Land saying only the Messiah could lead them back. It was not until the rise of Nazism that that changed. We now continue. -Redfox712.]

it's a much, much larger picture that goes way beyond ethnic consideration.

I'm writing about men and women—Jews and non-Jews—who are part of a larger group of soulless humans who have no loyalty to anything other than the vision of their new world order;

[That does not change the fact that this idea is still anti-Semitic. Anti-Semites often accuse Jews of being puppet masters, so the Jewish World Conspiracy Theory can easily be expanded to include Gentiles in the conspiracy. -Redfox712.]

I'm writing about men and women who will kill as many millions/billions as it takes to achieve their goal. I single out Israel because its founders and present leaders were/are key players in this coming new world order and because it uses ignorant trusting fundamentalist Christians and religious Jews as tools. (February, 2008 commentary.)

Alleged Jewish Control of Media:

Back when Hollywood was in its infancy [1910s-1920s], Zionists took complete control of the new motion picture industry because they recognized the tremendous potential.

[But back then Anti-Semites called them Jews, (eg., Henry Ford's The International Jew) not Zionists and made similar accusations. The following comments reveal Conder's paranoid perception of Jews. Like many Anti-Semites he teaches that Jews have great power. This is a common Anti-Semitic trope. -Redfox712.]

Never in the history of the world was a propaganda tool more powerful than motion pictures. Once in control these new self-appointed lords of public opinion recreated the Western world. Today Hollywood Zionists can truly boast that they have recreated America in their image and after their likeness." (June, 2009 commentary.)

For decades an insidious enemy [Jews/Zionists. It took me ages to realize he meant them here.-Redfox712.] has had virtual control over what America reads, hears and thinks, which they accomplished by exercising complete control over the "news" and entertainment media....the American media [is] completely owned and operated by Zionist concerns (August, 2009 commentary.)

the Holocaust is not quite the tale promoted in countless multi-million dollar Hollywood films, television productions, newspaper and magazine articles and books. Nope! Today honest scholarship and a handful of honest scholars hang over the tale of the Holocaust industry and Zionist aims like a Damocles Sword...

today an ever-growing number of brave historians are disputing the official Holocaust tale by citing documents like those from the World Centre of Contemporary Jewish Documentation in Paris which states that 1,485,292 Jews died from all causes during the Second World War. [This figure also pops up in other Holocaust 'Revisionist' writings.-Redfox712.] Indeed, some historians have found evidence that brings even that revised figure into question, and argue for a death toll dipping down to a few hundred thousand. (June 2009 column.)

Who are these "some historians"? Is he talking about the so-called Institute of Historical Research, that infamous font of Holocaust 'Revisionism,' which at one time absurdly taught that only 300,000 to 500,000 Jews died?

Demonization of the Talmud:

This idea is absurd and is often used by Anti-Semites to demonize Jews but he still teaches it.

Christianity, with its central theme of "love thy neighbors and thy enemies as thyself" would have been much less appetizing for a warrior race like the Khazars than the teachings of Judaism since, as The Jewish Encyclopedia makes clear, the Khazars were a people entirely motivated by "plunder and revenge". (Is it any coincidence that the Talmud's promotion of "plunder and revenge" has been so readily embraced by modern so-called Jews?) (The Truth About Our Judeo-Christian Heritage.)

Since [Gerald Flurry] has made numerous trips to Israel, we cannot suppose he's ignorant of life in racist, Marxist Israel where Palestinians are kept strictly segregated from Jews and treated like dogs, which of course is their defined status in the Talmud. (February, 2008 commentary.)

What a cesspool of paranoia and hatred! But we have only just begun.

There will be more on all this later.

Update: Here's one quote I feels belongs here.

Men like [John] Hagee and [Pat] Robertson are a very real threat to world peace. They are at least unknowingly serving an [Israeli-New World Order] agenda that seeks to establish a new world order—one that will relegate the suffering, destruction and death of World War II to a footnote of history. (November, 2009 commentary.)

I will now impose comment moderation on this blog. I have decided to do this due to annoying spam that has been coming here. I hope to block such things so you will not have to see them.

On other, unrelated news, I see that The Times of London has now put its paywall in place, though fortunately previous links posted here are still working. I hope this method of restricting news will fail miserably.

Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church, a religious movement often denounced as a Christian-based cult (see some of their peculiar heresies explained here) have their own performing band similar to WCG's Young Ambassadors: namely the Little Angels. Currently the Little Angels, young girls who perform dances on stage, are conducting a sixteen nation tour starting in the USA to commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of the Korean War. Their performance has incited some Koreans to protest over these concerts because of Moon's connection to them. (Hat tip to Scoobie Davis.)

Sun Myung Moon has his own version of WCG's Young Ambassadors. Currently his various front organizations are leading a tour of concerts by the Little Angels.

These Little Angels seem very similar to what WCG's Young Ambassadors.

This reminded me of how the March 1986 Plain Truth published a letter from a man from Khartoum, Sudan who had translated some COG writings into Arabic. (See p. 29, PDF p. 31.)

He mentioned his hope of getting it published in some sort of Coptic publication. So, based on that, it appears that the writer did not yet know that, according to HWA, all other Christians are false, when he wrote that letter. I wonder if he was able to get his Arabic translation published. I wonder how long it took before someone told him that HWA teaches many things contrary to what in taught in the Coptic Church. But of all I hope he is all right in body and soul. And free of Armstrongism.

If You are new please read this

Hand in Hand for Syria

Keep Somalia's Remittances Open

I encourage readers to sign this petition from Oxfam calling upon the U.S. government to let the Somali diaspora continue to send remittance to their loved ones in Somalia.

Moves have been made to shut down such remittances from Somalis in America. Many Somalis need these remittances. The remittances to Somalia are larger than foreign aid contributions and are a lifeline to these people caught in trouble and turmoil.

It is true that HWA said that some Eastern European states would break away from Moscow's orbit and join the European Empire he said would arise at any moment. But he never talked of the Soviet Union collapsing. He did not teach that. Also he portrayed the rise of the European Empire to be far quicker then what has actually happened. In Mystery of the Ages Christ was supposed to return by 2005 at the most.

So assertions that the fall of the Berlin Wall somehow prove that HWA was right is just complete nonsense spread by people who, for whatever reason, are still in denial that HWA was a false prophet who merely talked out of his own "human reasoning".

What sort of man is he? A man who could say things like this.

"Mr. Armstrong has reminded us again that we are to disfellowship any members who attend GTA's [Garner Ted Armstrong's] campaigns, church services or other meetings. Some of our weaker members apparently do not realize that this man is in direct rebellion against God and His government! We must not allow them, or ourselves, to rationalize about this matter, to try to "help the underdog," or in any other way lend support to one whose gross immorality, whose long standing "play acting" and hypocrisy, and whose direct insubordination to the Government of God has long been and is now a source of confusion and DIVISION among God's people. So, as per Mr. Armstrong's instruction, I charge and exhort every one of you faithful ministers of the living Christ to explain this in no uncertain terms to your members, to warn them about this cause of division and then to disfellowship any who consort with GTA or any of his fellows." (Roderick C. Meredith, Pastor's Report, May 21, 1979, pp. 1-2.)

David Robinson on Roderick C. Meredith

"During the ten years I have been an employee of the Worldwide Church, you have been poorly spoken of by most of the ministers and employees I have known. I vividly remember the absolute unbounded glee that was openly expressed by a good number of respected men in the church when you were first "shanghaied." [In 1972.] I could begin by naming names, which I am sure would shock you. I was one of the few who stood, where possible, for you. Your tenure as superintendent of ministers, as I believe the office was then called, was looked on as nightmarish. While you held office during the years of growth, most of those whom I know gave you very little credit for that growth. Almost everyone whom I know, whether they be former friends of yours, or continuing foes, recalls insensitive and terrible things you have done. Without exception, at least among my acquaintances, they all credit you with an unbridled lust for power and list you as one who is willing to pay the price of gaining that power, no matter what. I have, through many of the last few years, believed you had principles you would not violate. Many a man of experience in the church assured me of my error. Events have proven me wrong and them right. Mr. Armstrong has himself been widely quoted as saying of you that you were so righteous that you were so "righteous you were unrighteous." " (David Robinson, Herbert Armstrong's Tangled Web, Chapter 16, p. 207.)

Of course it is impossible for me to personally verify these assertions but people deserve to know what this knowledgeable man had to say about him.
